Smart, innovative, and growing
What if we told you that you could be part of a world-leading software company, right here in Wellington? And not only that, you could play an important role in our future growth and technologies?
At ASC, what we do is simple: we provide platforms that let businesses work better. We are a world leading provider of on-premise and cloud-based products for authoring technical publications and pharmaceutical information.
Play a key part in our success
We’re looking for a generalist who can do a bit of everything and isn’t afraid of a challenge. You’ll design, develop, and deliver world-class software, while continuously improving development practices.
You will be dealing with shifting priorities and tight timeframes. We interface with many different APIs, applications, and programming languages, so if you want to dip your fingers into a little bit of everything, and work with some modern cloud-based technologies, you’ve come to the right place.
Put your unique skills to work
You’ll have the skills to hit the ground running - expert knowledge of modern high-level languages like Java, an in-depth knowledge of relational and non-relational databases, and a passion for building scalable, performance applications.
On top of that, you have excellent communication skills. You’re good at getting your point across as well as listening to and understanding your teammates.
That said, of course, you will bring a solid background in building high-performing software, in particular web applications. You’ll have at least 8 years development experience and also either be experienced, or familiar, with the following:
- Java (experience with Python would be a bonus)
- JavaScript, or a language that compiles to JS such as TypeScript or CoffeeScript
- WebServices / API Tests
- Node.js
- REST APIs
- Relational and non-relational databases, such as No-Sql
- AWS services: ElasticSearch, Lambda or RDS, Docker, EventBridge, Athena, Glue
- Agile/Scrum/Kanban development methodology
Challenge yourself to step up
Got ideas? Great. We can’t wait to hear them. We’re after people ready to bring a new spin to the way we do things. In this key senior role, you’ll have a strong voice in our business and be supported to put your innovations into action.
